Access sqlite file from package

Its all about security. My purpose is to get sqlite file from assets folder & copy it to sd card. It's fine. But now i want to put that sqlite file in one of my package & copy it to sd card.Is it possible?

To copy sqlite file From Assets:

private void copydatabase() throws IOException {
    InputStream myinput = mycontext.getAssets().open(DB_ASSETNAME);

    OutputStream myoutput = new FileOutputStream(DB_PATH+DB_NAME);

    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    int length;
    while ((length = myinput.read(buffer))>0) {
        myoutput.write(buffer,0,length);
    }

    myoutput.flush();
    myoutput.close();
    myinput.close();

}

So how can i copy my sqlite file from package to sdcard?

Structure::

  - com.package.packagename
       -sqlitefilename.sqlite

Replace new FileOutputStream(DB_PATH+DB_NAME) with something that points to external storage (e.g., new FileOutputStream(new File(getExternalFilesDir(), DB_NAME))). Make sure that you have the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, if your minSdkVersion is set to 18 or lower.
